RFR: 8220083: Use InetAddress.getLoopbackAddress() in place of 127.0.0.1 for some tests

[Martin Buchholz]

These changes are clean progress and allow tests to pass on any of the 4
(!) combinations of IPV4/IPV6 support available.  LGTM.

BUT ... in the current multi-protocol world it's probably better to test
against all the interfaces available on the host machine.
Maybe there should be a InetAddress.getLoopbackAddresses (note the plural!)
and tests should run against all the InetAddress objects returned by such
an API?
But this is a big task (mostly spec work I would guess) for the net-dev
team.
